Gyokeres interview (1 Viewer)

[PVA]

So Gyokeres did an interview with Swedish media.

There was talk on here in the summer, I think by one of the ITKs, that Vik didn't want to leave even to the Premier League but this sounds very much like he wants to leave (don't blame him obviously!)


“Of course, it’s fun,” Gyokeres responds. “But (a summer move) didn’t happen and I’m still with Coventry,”

Yes, absolutely (I’m ready for the Premier League). I have been in England for a long time and it would be fun. But I am also open to other leagues. I’ve been at Brighton before.

“There were a few different factors (why I didn’t move this summer).”

"a few different factors" like no one bid for him .

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

Can’t knock his confidence (what else is he going to say?) but don’t think his performances have shown a Premier League player in waiting this season

 

[Bugsy]

He’s a fine player and I’m sure a PL move is on the horizon. It’s good to see a player with ambition and hopefully he can take us up there with him

you are quite naive ain't ya....PUSB

Obviously he means he wants to play in the Premier League and wants to do it here

He is never a premier league striker and I was very surprised after his loan spell that we signed him as I thought and still think he isn't good enough. But time will tell.

Are you having a laugh, he has shown quality and on his day is unplayable

This is quite an opinion

 

[CV22SBA]

I thought he was shit when we had him on loan and really surprised we signed him. However, last season he was on fire BUT this season not so sure. Wasn't involved at all for 80 mins at Sunderland and then scored that wonder goal. Not been impressed with him in any game so far this season. Misses way more chances than he scores. Good goal at Luton though after he missed the absolute sitter in the first minute.

There is a reason why Brighton let him go...... He's not good enough for the Premier League. Has he even played more than 5 mins for Sweden. Appears to come on as an injury-time sub.

 

[fernandopartridge]

He's been a bit hit and miss this season but ultimately he's better up front on his own. His finishing and decision making are not PL level.

Isak is injured so he should start a game this week by default

 

[wingy]

2 international goals in 83 minutes.

He's a very good Championship striker, and you have to take into account that this season he is playing in a poorly performing team, which is expecting too much of him to cover up for others' deficiencies. Not Premier League quality though, at least not yet.

Ready for the Premier League but miss 2 in 3 one on ones?

 

[SBT]

Well according to SBB this is completely untrue:

I also think he doesn’t want to go , he probably thinks he needs another season here being the main striker etc Not sure he would want to go somewhere and risk sitting on the bench again, he has did this at Brighton who were premier league and then got loaned out, don’t think he wants to do that again .

 

[Grendel]

Oh dear

 

[SIR ERNIE]

There have been times this season when I've thought he looks better than ever.

 

[SlowerThanPlatt]

2 international goals in 83 minutes.

Think one of them was in an “exhibition” match so might not count officially. That’s how we got duped into signing Martin Lorentzson…

 

[CV22SBA]

2 international goals in 83 minutes.

2 championship goals in 585 minutes this season

 

[CDK]

Not good in a 2 upfront but as a single hes dominant.

 

[SBT]

Not good in a 2 upfront but as a single hes dominant.

Think he would do just fine in a 2, so long as he was playing in a team capable of controlling possession without packing the midfield.

 

[covcity4life]

Lol some fans just write off a player if not good recent form.

He is quality and could play prem I think

We are lucky to still have him

 

[Kilclines curly mullet]

Not Premier League at the moment

The misses against Luton (free header and the one on one) along with the missed one on ones at Derby last year prove it.

 

[GaryMabbuttsLeftKnee]

I genuinely cannot believe there are people 'not rating' or even any question marks at all over Gyokeres. Utter madness. That's not to say I necessarily think he's definitely PL quality, but he is a mile ahead of our other forwards in overall ability.

 

[mmttww]

Not been impressed with him in any game so far this season.

He was unbelievably good against Luton, esp. in the first half.

I'm not sure picking 2 games proves anything.

 

[Paxman II]

There are a number of strikers in the premier league that are not good enough tbf.

 

[CV22SBA]

Was he? Missed an absolute sitter in the first minute and was non-existance second half.

 

[mmttww]

Was he? Missed an absolute sitter in the first minute and was non-existance second half.

Yes. He was. Best player on the pitch by a mile in the first half. When we fell away second half, he did too. He missed a chance, scored the next one. His all round play first half was insane. Was winning battles he had no right to and dragged us up the pitch by himself.

Morris was far better for a start. He hasn't been good all season and misses way too many one on one's. He doesn't like passing to team mates either.

Morris scored two scrappy goals and battled for headers from hoof balls. If you're going to compare those two players and claim Morris is better, you're either after attention or clueless.

P.S. the passing thing is bollocks as well. He's often miles ahead of anyone else with no one to pass to, but even then, I'd bet if you dig up the stats, he puts in as many crosses as either WB most games.
